She can’t shut up for a minute and it only takes a slightly ill advised observation to reduce her to a puddle of self-pitying crocodile tears.Her grouchy husband (Craig Miller) isn’t much better. It’s an example of the kind of blather one still encounters on “Saturday Night Live,” an initially funny bit that gets tedious because it’s overwritten and doesn’t know when to stop.But the bottom line is this: if you can withstand annoying but riotously funny characters, constantly flickering lights and blackouts, and loud gunshots when you least expect it, Reprint Policy: Our articles may not be reprinted in full but only as excerpts and those portions may only be used if a credit and link is provided to our website.

Alan Arkin's "Little Murders" is a very New York kind of movie, paranoid, masochistic and nervous. His chief irritant is son Kenny (Evan Crump), who lazily minces about the house like some kind of gay dude, which, in fact, he is.

It’s a nice bit of type casting. He started out as an apprentice cartoonist in the 1950s but quickly scored success in the then brand-new Village Voice, a distinctly leftish tabloid that thrived on surprisingly good investigative journalism leavened with snarky exposes and reviews of politicians, entertainers, and Manhattan elites.Feiffer’s lazy, languid line drawings, together with hand penned dialogue that ranged from the cutting to the blasé, seemed to embody the artistic and political spirit of the age—or at least of New York’s Greenwich Village.

Be careful – if he catches you, it’s off to the dungeon with you! In spite of his imposing build, Alfred suffers fools (and daily beatings) gladly. But if ''Little Murders'' can be as period-bound as its author's headline-inspired cartoons of the same era, most of it still provokes laughter and thought.

[Jules Feiffer] -- Depressed New Yorker Alfred Chamberlain is engaged to perky, can-do Patsy Newquist. It’s clear that Feiffer’s politically incorrect working class family was an inspiration for Archie Bunker and crew just a few years later.But Feiffer’s world, unlike Archie’s, involves constant fear and menace. She’s bossy while always wanting the best for everyone—as she defines the word. Just as disconcerting, at random moments the Newquists’ onstage living area first flickers and then is engulfed in darkness as the city suffers through the kind of random power outages you’d expect only in third world countries.

Arlington’s provocative American Century Theater opened its latest intriguing blast from the American past last weekend at Gunston Theater II. Murders increased to such an extent that no area of the city felt safe. It’s not bad enough that the hulking Alfred rarely speaks, staring forward with dead eyes as if in a permanent catatonic state.

In trying to smooth domestic matters over, her manic approach to everything inevitably makes things worse .As her sullen, fatalistic husband, Carol, Craig Miller comes across as a TV pilot version of Archie Bunker. By bringing back a bit of not-too-distant American urban history and by unselfconsciously underlining our current, perhaps even worse signs of urban decay and decadence, Little Murders is a 1960s black comedy that’s suddenly fresh and new. Get this from a library! The emotional impact of it's buffoonery colliding head-on with its lead-pipe-to-the-gut message is undeniable.

Depressed New Yorker Alfred Chamberlain is engaged to perky, can-do Patsy Newquist. Cheeky, self-assured to the point of obnoxiousness, and unbearably bossy, her forced sunniness—the mirror image of her mom’s tragic vision of life—always catches Carol just the wrong way.Mix in Patsy’s latest boyfriend-fiancé Alfred Chamberlain (James Finley) and Carol’s brains start boiling toward nuclear meltdown. He knows he can clobber any of the thugs, bullies, and muggers, but no longer sees the point as it won’t change anything.While Alfred doesn’t get much dialogue in this play’s first half, he doesn’t need it, as his body language and demeanor tells us all we really need to know about where his head is at. New Yorkers scurried home as fast as they could after work and hid behind multiple-locked apartment doors until emerging once again for work each morning.Feiffer, like many New Yorkers, had taken about all he could take, and out popped  Mom Marjorie Newquist (Emily Morrison) is a yakkity, emotional mess.

His cartoons quickly became a popular feature of the Voice, and could increasingly be discovered in other publications as well.But during his long career, Feiffer refused to rest on his laurels, expanding into prose, live theater, and even into the chancy world of Hollywood script writing.
